If any of you caught the early new millenium TeleVision special:
"The Secret KGB UFO files",
there was a point in an interview of a Russian
who had been working with a team
who had been working to reverse engineer
a downed / captured IAC (Identified Alien Craft),
where he indicated, quoting as best as I remember:
"Our physicists have been unable to understand the physics of
the alien technology, because all of our technology is based upon
quantum physics,
while the ET technology is all based upon
parallel realities."
All our quantum physics is limited both in understanding and exploration,
by being confined to one consenus reality, the physical, but then that is
the major downfall of modern western "scientific" investigation...
the underlying belief that there is a single objective reality,
that it is physical,
and that it can be measured in a laboratory with physical instruments.
This [is was] why
we [have had] [no] proof of paranormal phenomena,
or anything which deals with alternate or subjective reality.
While I was raised and trained in this western scienterrific non-mystique,
I had to let it go to open up to psychic phenomena and perception.
I no longer believe there is an "objective reality".
Einsteinian relativity would lead us to the same conclusion.
Despite western science's search for the one ultimate objective physical-laboratory-proovable reality, none such exists.
Could it be that 'relativism' is real? that there is no single objective reality?
Prove that any 'objective reality' is not truly subjective. This cannot be done without an exhaustive list of all possible subjective realities, observations you and I have made, and therefore it is impossible for even two of us to share an objective reality, much less share one with 8 Billion humans.
I think that this is a clue for our future direction of investigation. We need to investigate higher harmonics (higher dimensionality), and we need to investigate other phases, (parallel realities), of each harmonic range. Such is the realm of MetaPhysics. So far, the only available "laboratory" for performing such scientific investigation of the metaphysical, is within our own heads, and is commonly known as crown chakra and ajna chakra, corresponding to the Pituitary and Pineal glands. This is the primary reason for the endless debates between skeptics and adepts... there is no physical proof available to the skeptics, who as long as they disbelieve, will not open up their own psychic awareness to allow themselves to see what others see who have let go of the need for external authoritarian "proof", and are willing to just see what they see.
Each of us exists in interrelated parallel realities, each having many time-lines based on alternate choices. These are all part of an overall "universe" or reality. We have free-will choice which time-line to take, but there is some level of fatedness to each time-line. Judicious time-line hopping gives more freedom.
